Market research VPSFlex
Hi I'm launching my server company soon using Virtkick and I was wondering if you could tell me what you would like a really good plan to have for vps servers such as ram and hdd and so on as I'm planning to create a special low end talk plan for launch day
Cheers
John

You are just giving 15% of your revenue to virtkick?
Yeah the software is amazing I have been testing it for months and their support is great
You offer we purchase. Not the opposite
Isn't it more like virtkick handles your entire business and then hands you a check after they take their cut? Since they run the billing system and all, seems like a provider using them is barely a provider at all. Basically turns picking a provider into choosing your favorite ticket replies...
Maybe I'm wrong about it, but from the outside looking in I'd have to trust the provider before they want into something like this as it seems like it turns "VPS company" into something even more dramatically turnkey than WHMCS+SolusVM ever did.
Please don't. We're not that desperate for drama.
I can see it being good and bad. On the good side it could allow a provider to focus more on the customer service and the underlying hardware knowing that the software side of things is managed. On the bad side this could be abused and someone could just not care, throw whatever hardware at it, and sit back.
And that's kind of something this place is famous for already thanks to the ease of WHMCS+SolusVM for basically making a turnkey company with no knowledge of how to do it. Lowering that barrier for entry, in my opinion, would make people around here quite uneasy when they spot it being utilized
Indeed. We shall see how things unfold with Virtkick usage in the future...
That software's surely not worth 15% of your revenue. If you manage to earn $30000 a year for example, that's fucking $4500 just for software cost instead of solusvm+vhmcs $whatever X 12.
Well, you still have to purchase and admin your servers, network, storage, and operating systems :-)
Unless I'm grossly misunderstanding their website...it's "billing + CP in the cloud" but it connects to your gear.
But I agree that I think all Virtkick providers will look the same...though then again, so do a lot of "ThemeForest template with a rocket+WHMCS default theme" providers.
Well, the most VPS Providers are small, and they maybe get 1-5 Big ones, and you need to pay your employs. So well, i think its balanced.
Hi guys with virtkick you have to hook up your dedicated servers using their APIs and then they manage payments and billing and I mange tech support and the website plans and so on . when you cost it out it works out great.
